What has been your experience when having to specify those precast concrete things that are to be positioned at the discharge of downspouts? UFGS specifies them in 042000 Masonry; MasterSpec has nothing. I am leaning towards the Division 07 Section where the downspouts would be specified. |

I spec them w/ downspouts: "Install where downspouts discharge." |

We put them in DIV 07 with "Roofing Accessories". Although if only at on-grade locations this can seem odd, it beats building a pre=cast Section around something could possibly be brought to the jobsite in the trunk of a car. |

I've always spec'd concrete splashblocks under "Miscellaneous Precast Concrete" in the concrete section along with precast wheelstops, precast equipment curbs, etc. The downspout section references the discharge of downspouts onto precast splashblocks or into belowgrade piping with the appropriate section.
